“Juno” singer Kimya Dawson: Still famous, still scared

Just ask Britney Spears: Fame isn’t all it’s made out to be. In fact, it terrifies Olympia folk singer Kimya Dawson.

Dawson’s wistful, kid-like and once obscure music was picked by actress Ellen Page to lead the soundtrack to the movie “Juno,” a comedy about a pregnant 16-year-old that was nominated for three Golden Globes and is still racking up praise — and box office returns.

Last week the movie’s soundtrack reached No. 3 on the Billboard album chart, propelling Dawson further into a national spotlight she hesitates to be in.

“I’m trying to figure out how to deal with what might become of this movie, balance what feels OK with me, but not waste what could be a really good opportunity,” she told us then.

“I’m figuring out how to book college tours — things that might be baby friendly — and feel I could be taking advantage of the exposure to do benefit shows. So I’m like, cool, yay, maybe I can be someone who can get people to shows that can make a difference for other people.”
